Favorite Sonata

(two topics in one day I'm on a roll!)

For me it's Tchaikovsky's Sonata No. (not sure what the number is) for Piano and Violin, the Devil's Trill

How about you?

Bouncing around between Prokofiev's Piano Sonata's 7 and 8.

Mozart's facile.

jk :P

Beethoven's Op 106 in B flat is definitely the best sonata ever, in my humble oppinion. I've listened 21910823 times to that long, demonic and dissonant fugue fugue! Mmm... that's sexual pleasure right there.

That's not Tchaikovsky, that's Tartini. It's Baroque, not Romantic.

Dude, that's Tartini.

Well my bad dude, I only have it on a burned disc, I don't have any other info on it, I let a friend of mine listen to it who is well versed in music and he told me it was Tchaikovsky.

but anyway, never too late to learn

And why the double post?

BAHAHAHAHA!!!

I read the title as 'Favorite Sinatra'

...

Was about to say that 'Live at the Sands' with the Basie band was one of my favorites when I figured it out....

Oops...

:)

:) One of my favourite sonata.. gotta be Prokofiev's D major, Op.15.. or 35 or 25... something like that. great piece, transcribed for flute and piano. love the fourth movement especially.

It's not transcribed for flute and piano, it was written for flute and piano, later rewritten as a dual opus number for violin. It's opus number 94 and 94b (after combining the two, they were seperate numbers for a while).

It is a great piece, one of his best chamber pieces. Prokofiev wrote several amazing pieces in the same key.

Hmmm. I like Mozart's sonata in A K.331. Very cool.

I like Sonatina in F by Beethoven. Dont know if that counts though.

Can't say I've listened to tons so far, but one of my all-time favorites has been Brahms's Trio for Horn, Piano, and Violin. (Sonata for trio)

Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata hands down!

Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata hands down!

Hence you name I suppose? :D

There are so many. IT's hard to say which is best.

The Hammerklavier is pretty sweet. Beethoven's No. 12 in A flat is good. No.32 in C minor is amazing.

Yeah, either the Hammerklavier or No. 32 is my favourite sonata. Have yet to hear Brahms' though. I'm sure they're pretty good although his later piano music is probably better.

Brahms G major violin and piano sonata. I can't think of the opus number.

Either Beethoven's Pathetique or Appassionata...

As of now, it is the 'Arpeggione' Sonata by Schubert. Fantastic piece

Brahms' sonatas were Op. 1-3 C major, F# Minor, and F minor respectively.

Maybe piano sonatas, but not the violin sonatas.

I have a lot of favorite sonatas... it's very difficult to pick one.

However, the one that stands out in my mind right now is Godowsky's sonata in e minor. If anyone hasn't heard this, I suggest they get a recording! It's definitely one of my favorite works of late Romantic piano music, and it contains simply gorgeous melodic lines, powerfully dramatic passages, intense virtuosity, and perhaps one of the most interesting structures I've ever seen.

Among my other favorites are Liszt's b minor, Beethoven's Op. 111, Sorabji's Sonata No. 1, and Ives' Concord. This barely scratches the surface though.

I like the Mozart Piano sonatas K.330-K.332.

But my FAVORITE sonata is Schubert's Sonata in Bb Major D.960.

i've got quite a few...

Beethoven's Tempest Sonata

R. Schumann's Sonata in G minor

Rachmaninogg's Sonata no.2

C. Schumann's Sonata in G minor

The "Appassionata", "Mondschein" and "Path

Um... I love Beethoven's Moonlight, Pathetique, Appassionata and.... Ah, really anything by Beethoven and Schumann.

How about Barber's Op. 26 Piano Sonata? That Fugue's pretty devilish, and it's a whole lot of fun.

The "White Mass" and "Black Mass" by Alexandr Skriabin, recently
